Rare Aston Martin Vulcan at Knowl Hill

Leading luxury car dealership Knowl Hill Performance & Luxury has welcomed one of the rarest cars in the world to its Berkshire showroom, the Aston Martin Vulcan.

Penned by Aston’s Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichmann, the Vulcan is the most exclusive car ever made by the British brand, with just 24 examples being crafted upon its 2015 release. And Knowl Hill is one of the only locations around where you can come and sample the scintillating supercar in all its glory by taking a look in and around the display model.

The track-only, rear-wheel-drive Vulcan is made purely from carbon fibre and is said to be Aston Martin’s most exhilarating and intense creation to date, and the figures are there to back that up.

With a 7.0-litre V12 engine producing 820bhp and 575lb ft of torque, this is one Aston Martin that certainly doesn’t need a second introduction.

It cuts quite the figure inside the Knowl Hill showroom, too. The Vulcan is remarkably low to the ground, measuring just 1,186mm tall, while dual vents on the bonnet and striking body lines hint at its blistering ability.

It’s a truly unique supercar and one that ties in perfectly with the Knowl Hill ethos. More than just a showroom, Knowl Hill Performance & Luxury offers customers a one-of-a-kind buying experience that puts the fun back into getting a new set of wheels.

The Vulcan isn’t the only ultra-rare car on display at Knowl Hill, either, as the independent dealership is also home to the BMW M4 GTS and the Aston Martin Vantage GT12, both of which are for sale.

One of only 30 UK models, Knowl Hill’s M4 GTS is proudly displayed in stunning Mineral White paint and is one of the most handsome limited-edition track-focused BMW M cars ever produced.

Sitting proudly next to the M4 GTS at Knowl Hill is the Vantage GT12 – one of just 100 examples built by Aston worldwide. This super-exclusive model is finished in pearlescent white paint with orange and black inserts to give it a racy edge.

Knowl Hill Performance & Luxury Founder Joseph Crowe said: “The Aston Martin Vulcan is a truly remarkable car and the rarest Aston Martin you’ll ever have the chance of laying your eyes on. It’s a particularly stunning model to observe both inside and out and a real limelight stealer. Knowl Hill is famous for selling the world’s finest cars, but the Vulcan is truly one of a kind and to be one of the only dealers in the world with one is a real honour and testament to our brand. We invite all supercar enthusiasts to come down to the showroom and sample the Vulcan and our relaxed atmosphere.”
